At a glance

Which one fits your situation?

ShareGate Protect is built for operational governance: seeing what's exposed, fixing what's risky, and cutting what's wasted. Syskit Point is built for structured governance processes: auditing, provisioning, scheduled reporting, and alerts.

ShareGate Protect

  • "Who has access to what?" is the question in front of you right now.
  • One plan that includes everything. No tiers, no add-ons.
  • Asking questions and fixing issues from Copilot, Claude, or ChatGPT beats opening another admin console.
  • Read-only access by default, with remediation as an explicit opt-in.
  • Delegated reviews, automated policies, license and storage savings, and unlimited support shouldn’t cost extra.
  • You already use ShareGate Migrate.

Syskit Point

  • You need provisioning templates, naming policies, and approval workflows.
  • You need tenant-wide activity auditing with one-year (or paid longer) retention.
  • Scheduled report delivery and email alerts are must-haves.
  • You need self-hosting, custom Azure regions, or scale past 10,000 users.
  • Power Platform governance matters and the add-on fits your budget.

ShareGate Protect

The operational governance for M365. See every risk in M365, fix what matters, and keep it that way.
One plan, per-user pricing, quote-based. No minimums, no usage limits, no feature tiers. Every capability available today is included.
Permissions visibility (coming July 2026), reporting, remediation, automated policies, delegated reviews, cost and license insights, AI tool governance, and unlimited support.
Centralized permissions matrix across SharePoint and OneDrive—content hierarchy, broken inheritance, user and group permissions, sharing links per object. Reporting only. (July 2026)
ShareGate MCP lets you surface insights, fix issues, and pull governance data from inside Copilot, Claude, or ChatGPT. Every action shows a plain-English preview and requires confirmation.
Full report of every anonymous and company-wide link: who created it, when, what it grants. Delete in-report, at scale, or automatically via a daily policy.
Reports for groups with guests and external guests, plus inactive-guest identification. Fix guest issues directly from reports, in bulk.
Inactive workspace and ownerless group reports. Archiving via Microsoft 365 Archive. Daily automated policies that archive or delete. Delegated reviews (July 2026) dispatch lifecycle, access, and sharing decisions to workspace owners—response rates tracked.
Not a current offering.
Readiness dashboard showing what Copilot can access. Archiving stale workspaces reduces the data surface Copilot draws from.
Visibility into labels and their settings. Labels are managed in Microsoft Purview.
Natural language report builder, prebuilt templates, saved custom reports, CSV export. No scheduled email subscriptions. From your AI tools, Protect's data feeds any delivery format you already use.
Full action log of every change made inside Protect.
Daily automated policies for sites, groups, OneDrives, and sharing links: archive, delete, or remove links. Bulk remediation with a full action log.
Read-only by default. Protect reads metadata — never file content. Remediation requires separate, explicit consent. SOC 2 Type II.
SaaS only. Data at rest in North America or Europe.
Unlimited support. No case caps, no paid tiers.

Pricing

One price vs. plans and add-ons

Syskit publishes starting prices: $12, $24, and $36 per user per year across its three Cloud plans.

The rest (Power Platform governance, license optimization, managed dedicated deployment, extended audit retention, faster support, guided onboarding) are separate add-ons.

Oversharing & permissions

Both tools answer "who has access to what." The difference is what happens after.

Risk detection
Remediation
Custom reporting
Data freshness

ShareGate Protect

Built-in governance risk assessment: public groups, "Everyone" access, broken inheritance, ownerless teams, with impact-tagged insights and trend graphs.
Fix sharing links, external and guest access, membership, broken inheritance, and broad internal access from the Insights view. Bulk actions with a full action log.
Natural language report builder: describe what you need, preview before saving. Up to 100 saved reports per user.
Refreshed approximately every 24 hours. Very large tenants may take longer on the first crawl.

Syskit Point

Permissions reports down to file level; policies flag too many members, private workspaces shared with Everyone, ownership gaps.
Single and bulk actions on permissions and memberships. Vulnerability tasks dispatched to workspace owners.
Report templates with drill-down, filter, and export.
Continuous data collection marketed as real-time. Guest login history limited to the 90-day Entra log window.

Sharing links & guest access

Sharing links and guest access are where most M365 exposure actually lives. Here's how each tool handles them.

Link visibility
Link cleanup
Guest visibility
Guest cleanup

ShareGate Protect

Every anonymous and company-wide link: who created it, when, what it grants, where it points.
Delete in-report, at scale, or via a daily automated policy.
Groups-with-guests and external-guests reports, inactive guest identification, org-level sharing settings.
Remove or fix guest access directly from reports, in bulk.

Syskit Point

External sharing reports covering guests, shared content, and links.
Bulk removal including anonymous and org-wide links. Delegated to owners. Known limitation: can't fully complete across multi-geo tenants.
Inactive guest detection, shadow-user detection. Guest last-login visibility limited to the 90-day Entra log window.
Policy-driven removal of inactive guests; owner reviews include guest decisions.

Workspace lifecycle

Both tools manage inactive workspaces. Protect focuses on cleanup; Syskit also lets you control what gets created.

Inactive workspaces
Archiving
Automation
Provisioning
Owner involvement

ShareGate Protect

Inactive workspace and ownerless group reports, with an adjustable inactivity window. Cost insights put a dollar value on license and storage waste.
Single or bulk archiving through Microsoft 365 Archive. Restore via the M365 admin center.
Daily policies archive or delete matching sites, groups, and OneDrives automatically. Actions are logged in the activity log.
Not a current offering.
Delegated reviews (July 2026): dispatch lifecycle, access, and sharing decisions to workspace owners. You control the scope. Response rates tracked, full action history.

Syskit Point

Inactive workspace detection with automated keep/archive/delete tasks sent to owners.
Archiving available within expiration workflows.
Rules engine applies policies to existing and new workspaces; min/max owner and membership policies.
Workspace request templates with naming policies, custom metadata, and approval workflows.
Recurring workspace reviews with owner tasks, reminders, and escalation paths.

Copilot & sensitivity labels

Copilot doesn't create oversharing problems. It exposes the ones you already have. Here's how each tool helps you get ahead of them.

Copilot exposure
Risky content
Sensitivity labels
Govern from your AI tools

ShareGate Protect

See what Copilot can access, with a readiness dashboard, and lock down what's risky before rollout.
Remove "Anyone" links, broad access, and stale content. Archiving outdated workspaces reduces the data surface Copilot draws from.
Visibility into labels and their settings. Labels are managed in Microsoft Purview.
Surface insights, fix issues, and pull reporting data from inside the AI tools your team already uses. Every action requires a plain-English preview and confirmation.

Syskit Point

Copilot Readiness Dashboard: risky links, external access, label validation checklist.
Remove risky links and external access that could surface through AI responses.
Label validation, management actions, sensitivity reviews, workspaces-without-a-label policy.
Not documented. The Syskit Point API is in beta.

Reporting, auditing & alerts

Syskit covers scheduled delivery, email alerts, and tenant-wide auditing. Protect covers report building, cost insights, and governance data through your AI tools.

Report building
Report delivery
Alerts
Activity auditing
Cost insights

ShareGate Protect

Natural language report builder: describe what you need, preview before saving. Prebuilt templates, saved custom reports, shareable evidence snapshots.

Not a current capability.
Full action log of every change made inside Protect.
Dollar-value insights on inactive workspaces, unallocated licenses, and orphaned OneDrives. Inactive users with paid licenses identified.
